True, it's not enabled by default, but Google is pitching this as an 
easy way to access your work documents from home (or vise-versa) .. and 
*that* is a serious security risk.

In the corporate world, users don't get to make their own choices. 
Management makes them, and it's the IT department's job to enforce that 
-- against the user's will kicking and screaming, if necessary.
